Trump declares end to Yemen strikes ceasefire takes effect
Trump declares an end to Yemen strikes "effective immediately." Iran plays a role in persuading Houthis to accept a truce to build "momentum" for nuclear talks. Israel is not given advance notice. Houthis assert the ceasefire does not apply to Israel. This move signals Trump's diplomatic track is momentarily ascendant over military planning.
